Recognizing the urgent need for a public health approach to dementia care, the roadmap fills a critical gap by providing a practical framework for integrating family caregivers into healthcare systems. It examines 10 core strategies for engaging family caregivers, drawing from real-world implementation experiences at the Comprehensive Memory Center, an outpatient, interprofessional dementia specialty practice at UT Health Austin (the clinical enterprise of Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin).

Each section of the Dementia Caregiver Roadmap includes practical examples from the CMC model on how to implement the core strategies, showcasing how they facilitate the development of coordinated, comprehensive care with family caregivers. With a focus on engaging family caregivers within healthcare systems, this roadmap is a vital resource for healthcare administrators and clinician providers dedicated to dementia care excellence.
